Sent in from a family member - posted with their permission. Bird made a scraping in mulch and stayed around most of morning into afternoon. Not previously seen at that site. Several attempts to upload image - turns out it had been png format, so did not upload from phone. Saved as jpg. Male King Quail. No other bird of same species seen.

Suspect so, but figured it worth reporting regardless.
